Class BackendService (0.8.0) 

BackendService(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Represents a Backend Service resource. A backend service defines how Google Cloud load balancers distribute traffic. The backend service configuration contains a set of values, such as the protocol used to connect to backends, various distribution and session settings, health checks, and timeouts. These settings provide fine-grained control over how your load balancer behaves. Most of the settings have default values that allow for easy configuration if you need to get started quickly. Backend services in Google Compute Engine can be either regionally or globally scoped. * Global <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/backendServices> * Regional <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/regionBackendServices> For more information, see Backend Services.

Attributes

NameDescription
affinity_cookie_ttl_sec int
Lifetime of cookies in seconds. This setting is applicable to external and internal HTTP(S) load balancers and Traffic Director and requires GENERATED_COOKIE or HTTP_COOKIE session affinity. If set to 0, the cookie is non-persistent and lasts only until the end of the browser session (or equivalent). The maximum allowed value is one day (86,400). Not supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true. This field is a member of oneof_ _affinity_cookie_ttl_sec.
backends Sequence[google.cloud.compute_v1.types.Backend]
The list of backends that serve this BackendService.
cdn_policy google.cloud.compute_v1.types.BackendServiceCdnPolicy

This field is a member of oneof_ _connection_draining.
consistent_hash google.cloud.compute_v1.types.ConsistentHashLoadBalancerSettings
Consistent Hash-based load balancing can be used to provide soft session affinity based on HTTP headers, cookies or other properties. This load balancing policy is applicable only for HTTP connections. The affinity to a particular destination host will be lost when one or more hosts are added/removed from the destination service. This field specifies parameters that control consistent hashing. This field is only applicable when localityLbPolicy is set to MAGLEV or RING_HASH. This field is applicable to either: - A regional backend service with the service_protocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED. - A global backend service with the load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Not supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true. This field is a member of oneof_ _consistent_hash.
creation_timestamp str
[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format. This field is a member of oneof_ _creation_timestamp.
custom_request_headers Sequence[str]
Headers that the load balancer adds to proxied requests. See `Creating custom headers
custom_response_headers Sequence[str]
Headers that the load balancer adds to proxied responses. See `Creating custom headers
description str
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource. This field is a member of oneof_ _description.

Requires at least one backend instance group to be defined as a backup (failover) backend. For load balancers that have configurable failover: `Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancing
fingerprint str
Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a BackendService. An up- to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to update the BackendService, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet. To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a BackendService. This field is a member of oneof_ _fingerprint.
health_checks Sequence[str]
The list of URLs to the healthChecks, httpHealthChecks (legacy), or httpsHealthChecks (legacy) resource for health checking this backend service. Not all backend services support legacy health checks. See Load balancer guide. Currently, at most one health check can be specified for each backend service. Backend services with instance group or zonal NEG backends must have a health check. Backend services with internet or serverless NEG backends must not have a health check.

locality_lb_policy google.cloud.compute_v1.types.BackendService.LocalityLbPolicy
The load balancing algorithm used within the scope of the locality. The possible values are: - ROUND_ROBIN: This is a simple policy in which each healthy backend is selected in round robin order. This is the default. - LEAST_REQUEST: An O(1) algorithm which selects two random healthy hosts and picks the host which has fewer active requests. - RING_HASH: The ring/modulo hash load balancer implements consistent hashing to backends. The algorithm has the property that the addition/removal of a host from a set of N hosts only affects 1/N of the requests. - RANDOM: The load balancer selects a random healthy host. - ORIGINAL_DESTINATION: Backend host is selected based on the client connection metadata, i.e., connections are opened to the same address as the destination address of the incoming connection before the connection was redirected to the load balancer. - MAGLEV: used as a drop in replacement for the ring hash load balancer. Maglev is not as stable as ring hash but has faster table lookup build times and host selection times. For more information about Maglev, see https://ai.google/research/pubs/pub44824 This field is applicable to either: - A regional backend service with the service_protocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED. - A global backend service with the load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. If sessionAffinity is not NONE, and this field is not set to MAGLEV or RING_HASH, session affinity settings will not take effect. Only the default ROUND_ROBIN policy is supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true. This field is a member of oneof_ _locality_lb_policy.
log_config google.cloud.compute_v1.types.BackendServiceLogConfig
This field denotes the logging options for the load balancer traffic served by this backend service. If logging is enabled, logs will be exported to Stackdriver. This field is a member of oneof_ _log_config.
max_stream_duration google.cloud.compute_v1.types.Duration
Specifies the default maximum duration (timeout) for streams to this service. Duration is computed from the beginning of the stream until the response has been completely processed, including all retries. A stream that does not complete in this duration is closed. If not specified, there will be no timeout limit, i.e. the maximum duration is infinite. This value can be overridden in the PathMatcher configuration of the UrlMap that references this backend service. This field is only allowed when the loadBalancingScheme of the backend service is INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. This field is a member of oneof_ _max_stream_duration.
name str
Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash. This field is a member of oneof_ _name.
network str
The URL of the network to which this backend service belongs. This field can only be specified when the load balancing scheme is set to INTERNAL. This field is a member of oneof_ _network.

This field is applicable to either: - A regional backend service with the service_protocol set to HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP2, and load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_MANAGED. - A global backend service with the load_balancing_scheme set to INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED. Not supported when the backend service is referenced by a URL map that is bound to target gRPC proxy that has validateForProxyless field set to true. This field is a member of oneof_ _outlier_detection.
